Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case of retinitis pigmentosa and nanophthalmos in a patient with attenuated Hunter's syndrome.
Methods: Fundus photography, total field electroretinogram, ultrasound, computerized visual field examination, biochemical examination and genetic testing were obtained.
Results: The fundus exam showed diffuse arteriolar attenuation, optic disc with regular contours, and pigment agglomerates like "bone spicules" in the middle periphery. Ultrasound examination revealed scleral thickening and short axial diameter in both eyes. The total field electroretinogram exam showed a subnormal result with greater impairment of the scotopic phase of the exam. Computerized visual field examination demonstrated a diffuse reduction in retinal sensitivity in the periphery. Biochemical examination showed increased urine glycosaminoglycan excretion and iduronate-2-sulphatase activity (IDS) deficiency in leukocytes, confirming the type II mucopolysaccharidosis. Molecular analysis revealed a novel missense mutation (p.A77D) in the IDS gene.
Conclusion: The case report is about a patient presented an attenuated form of the syndrome, with no cognitive impairment. Ophthalmologic follow-up is still an important part of multidisciplinary treatment for Hunter's syndrome.
期刊介绍:
Documenta Ophthalmologica is an official publication of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. The purpose of the journal is to promote the understanding and application of clinical electrophysiology of vision. Documenta Ophthalmologica will publish reviews, research articles, technical notes, brief reports and case studies which inform the readers about basic and clinical sciences related to visual electrodiagnosis and means to improve diagnosis and clinical management of patients using visual electrophysiology. Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g., the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).
